Six year old tantrums/emotional reactions

Hello all - I really want to know if my daughters behaviour is pretty standard for her age or if not can I help her be a bit more resilient. She is just over six years old and when she gets told she can't have what she wants often she has quite a dramatic reaction- wailing and crying and begging. This morning she told me she had a tummy ache but managed to get herself downstairs and then went back up to get lots of stuff to take in the car, dropped off her sister to nursery waking into the building fine. She complained a bit about tummy and I gave some calpol read book to her - still all calm but bit moany. Got to school and refused to get out of car crying the short walk in and clinging to blanket.sat in school office crying and clinging to me. Took blanket into class with teacher. I don't want to have unrealistic expectations but also want to help h r if she is over emotional. I just didn't feel a sore tummy was enough to keep her off school but maybe I was wrong? Any advice would be great :)

hi there didn't want to read and run. my 5.11 year old certainly still has tantrumy type responses to things especially at the moment as it is near the end of term and he is really tired. depends how often it happens I suppose?

Thanks for the reply - good point about end of term. Feels quite often at the moment but perhaps more of a recent regular occurrence! Reassuring to think it's not just us :)
